The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

He showed the younger generation what it means to be shrewd and calculating!

Of course, during the closed-door meeting inside the Rong Mansion, she was quite straightforward and spoke her mind to avoid affecting internal unity.

Cough cough, it must just be what the old lady thinks is internal unity!

Unfortunately, the eldest son's family didn't appreciate it at all, and even harbored some resentment.

It turned out that the old lady saw that the opportunity was rare and planned to seize the opportunity of the Ning Mansion and get the phoenix egg Jia Baoyu a minimum-level title - equivalent to the seventh-rank Yunqiwei!

In any case, this is a pretty good arrangement!

Unexpectedly, Jia Jing suddenly appeared and ruined everything, much to the old lady's regret.

When Jia Huan learned the news, the second master of the second branch of the family was somewhat embarrassed, while Madam Wang was truly quite disappointed and privately scolded Jia Jing countless times.

As for the eldest son's family, Master She didn't care, since he wouldn't get any of the benefits anyway.

But Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were filled with bitterness. It seemed that the old lady had forgotten that she had an eldest grandson. Jia Lian was more suitable than Jia Baoyu in every respect.

All I can say is that the old lady's favoritism is a bit too much.

Even with Wang Xifeng's acting talent, she probably couldn't have faked an indifferent attitude in front of the old lady; she would have inevitably shown some signs of it.

Sure enough, the old lady sensed something was amiss and simply told Wang Xifeng not to go to Rongqing Hall to serve for a while, which showed she was quite aware of the situation.

Jia Huan naturally did not witness these events firsthand.

Whether it was a family meeting or Wang Xifeng's clues at Rongqing Hall, he wasn't present at the time, but the Rong family was a big leaky sieve.

Any information that isn't deliberately kept secret spreads incredibly fast!

Yunqiwei!

If it weren't for the interference of the immortal cultivator Jia Jing, the old lady might have actually succeeded.

Those who are dissatisfied with the powerful and wealthy groups today probably wish they could transfer their dignity to Jia Baoyu.

When Jia Rong inherits the title of Ningfu, according to the rule of inheriting a title with a lower rank, he can at most get a rank comparable to a fifth-rank cavalry captain!

When that time comes, the Ning family will become the bottom of the noble families!

Not to mention, dreaming of becoming a full member of the Dragon Guard is just a pipe dream!

It can only be said that Jia Jing is no ordinary person.

The fact that he was able to get the information so quickly clearly means that he has his own spies in the Ning family, and he may even have informants in the palace. It's not an exaggeration at all.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why he arrived so timely!

After quickly resolving the succession dispute in the Ning Mansion, Jia Jing had Jia Rong, who was still recovering from serious injuries, hold a low-key internal family banquet, inviting everyone from the Rong Mansion.

This man's way of doing things actually made Jia Huan feel good about him.

For no other reason than that he had Jia Rong invite his two illegitimate sons, Cong-ge'er and himself!

From this point of view alone, his magnanimity and breadth of mind are the best among the Ning and Rong mansions!

He didn't intend to sit at the table; he just mentioned a few things before the family dinner began.

The moment he opened his mouth to say the first thing, he caused a huge uproar.

This person wanted to take Jia Zhen, whose condition was still deteriorating, directly to a manor outside the city to recuperate.

Clearly, this is to remove the biggest obstacle that will help Jia Rong rise to power and take control of the Ning Mansion!

Unlike the shocked Master She, Master Zheng, and Madam You, Jia Huan reacted immediately and couldn't help but secretly praise Jia Jing for doing a good job.

He took the paralyzed Jia Zhen away, not just to remove the biggest obstacle for Jia Rong.

There's another point that Master Zheng and the others probably haven't realized yet: protecting Jia Zhen.

Things are different now than they used to be, and some things are naturally very different from before!

Once Jia Zhen's health has recovered to a certain extent, he certainly won't easily relinquish his control over the household!

At first, Jia Rong might have been intimidated by Jia Zhen's long-standing influence and would have shown some respect, not daring to act rashly.

However, as time went on, Jia Zhen's paralysis became a fact, and Jia Rong's fear of him would only weaken over time, eventually to the point where he would have no fear at all.

At that time, if Jia Zhenruo still didn't know what was good for him and continued to scold Jia Rong like an ox or a horse, he might cause trouble for himself and arouse Jia Rong's resentment and murderous intent.

Such incidents occur quite frequently in the mansions of the powerful and wealthy.

One more Jia Rong wouldn't make a difference, and one less Jia Rong wouldn't make a difference either. Even if Jia Zhen didn't die, he would be completely finished.

Rather than waiting for such a tragic human tragedy to occur, it is better to nip it in the bud.

In addition, it also gave the Rong family an opportunity, an opportunity to completely control the family's power.

Jia Rong is not only young, but his abilities and temperament are also rather unsatisfactory. With the old lady's skills and methods, she could easily control him.

In this way, the Ning family will be completely dependent on the Rong family for survival!

In Jia Huan's view, this was not a bad thing. After all, the Ning Mansion had a terrible reputation in the past and would easily become a target for attack. It would be better to be honest and keep to oneself, hiding behind the Rong Mansion and quietly accumulating strength, waiting until the strength was sufficient before making a move.

The second matter did not attract much attention. Jia Jing said that he would continue to cultivate at Xuanzhen Temple outside the city and that he should not be disturbed unless there were major events.

His statement secretly relieved the guests at the Rong residence.

Jia Jing's skill and ability this time really surprised them.

As the pillar of the Rong family, the old lady was slapped in the face without warning, and she herself did not dare to lash out!

Such power and authority put immense pressure on Master She and Master Zheng, making them less than welcoming of Master Jing's return to the mansion to take charge.

Now they can finally relax completely.

Jia Huan, however, had other plans in mind. He suspected that Jia Jing was causing quite a bit of trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so determined to become a Taoist priest. Did he really think life in the Taoist temple outside the city was easy?

In the original story, it's estimated that spending a long time in the Taoist temple had some influence on him.

In addition, it was because he was completely desperate about the Ning family and the Jia family in the capital that he embarked on the path of no return of consuming external elixirs. Some things don't need to be said; everyone knows what's going on.

The third thing was to have Jia Rong prepare a courtyard for Xichun, so that she could stay there from time to time, and to have Qin Keqing help teach her when she had free time.

After saying this, he turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

As for the political situation at court, Jia Jing didn't mention it at all. It's unclear whether he lacked information or had some reservations about discussing it further.

At the family banquet, he was unaware of what others thought, but Jia Huan was overjoyed.

Looking at the number representing luck on the virtual panel that evolved from the cheat system, which suddenly swelled to seventy points, I felt an indescribable joy and satisfaction.

Although he appeared to be uninvolved in the Ning family turmoil, he was actually closely connected to it.

Jia Huan secretly encouraged the Second Master Zheng to seek an official position, and later, when he and Ma Yuan, the former Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, impeached each other, Jia Huan also played a role in fueling the fire.

Then Jia Zhen suffered collateral damage, and Jia Rong was severely injured – these were all subsequent consequences.

If it weren't for Jia Huan's thugs discovering the White Lotus Sect's important stronghold outside the city, which was directly exposed after Jia Huan's actions and also discovered by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Ma Yuan wouldn't have chosen to flee under cover of night.

His youngest son probably wouldn't have taken such a risk, attacking and killing Jia Zhen on the very day he fled.

It can be said that Jia Zhen and his son Jia Rong's misfortune was entirely due to being implicated in the situation.

The rest is history; it was all a butterfly effect that led to this!

So far, Jia Rong's fate has been changed, and Qin Keqing's fate has also been changed, both for the better.

It seems that Xichun's fate may also undergo a huge change!

Judging from Jia Jing's arrangements, he did not completely ignore Xi Chun, his daughter.

Perhaps he himself was ill-mannered; Jia Zhen's reputation was so bad that he didn't dare let Xichun stay in the Ning Mansion for long, for fear of affecting her reputation.

The situation is naturally different now. At least Jia Rong doesn't have the same audacity as his father, Jia Zhen, who dares to disregard the law and act recklessly. With this in mind, plus Qin Keqing's help, it won't be a problem to keep Xichun in the Ning Mansion longer.

Master Jing dusted himself off and left with Jia Zhen, Madam You and her husband, and a bunch of servants, leaving behind only the core members of the Ning and Rong mansions somewhat bewildered.

This guy really has the heroic spirit of "killing one person in ten steps and leaving no trace for a thousand miles"!

Jia Huan had a lot of respect for him; this guy could let go so easily, and his composure was frightening.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to get close to this person and have a proper chat about cultivation or something like that.

On the day the Ning family held their banquet, he made a point of observing carefully, but he couldn't detect anything unusual in Master Jing's walking posture or breathing rhythm, which left him quite disappointed.

Damn, he's been at Xuanzhen Temple for almost twenty years, surely he must have learned something real by now?

As for the power this guy might have hidden in the palace or officialdom, Jia Huan didn't care at all.

If one didn't possess some power, would the 'decency' bestowed upon them today have been implemented so quickly?

Just kidding. Some things are just that people haven't thought about them carefully enough, but that doesn't mean they don't know what's going on.

In short, without Jia Zhen, the situation in the Ning Mansion will definitely be very different from the original story.

It's highly likely that Qin Keqing didn't need to be forced to commit suicide.

Unless she's out of her mind and insists on getting involved in the extremely dangerous battle for the throne.

Now that Jia Rong is in charge, even if Qin Keqing has any ideas, he probably won't agree to them. He doesn't have the guts or the ability to interfere recklessly.

To Jia Huan's surprise, his classmate Jia Qiang from the same ethnic school suddenly approached him.
